Swimmers raise $60,000 for handicapped athletes

The sixth annual "Swim with Mike," a fund-raiser to aid handicapped athletes with academic and other expenses, was held last Saturday at the McDonald's Swim Stadium and raised $60,000.
The public event honors Mike Nyeholt, an all-american swimmer for the university who was paralyzed in a motorcycle accident in 1981.
"It was the best ever," said Ron Orr, assistant athletic director for the university. "We had more swimmers than ever before: 250 participants."
"We had a 2-year-old, an 88-year-old, and even a blind swimmer. Channel 7 was there," Orr said. Mike Nyeholt himself swam 200 laps.
The fraternity and sorority which raised the most money through pledges were Beta Theta Pi and Kappa Kappa Gamma, which raised $1,200 and $700, respectively. The campus group which raised the most was the Tour Guides, whose members raised $1,000.

The individual who raised the most money was the mother of a student attending the university, Barbara Cameron. Cameron raised over $3,000 swimming in her back yard.
According to Orr, the highlight of the day was when Crista Lawrence, who last year won the national championship in the 200-yard butterfly, but was injured in a surfing accident last summer, swam her first lap since the accident. "She saw everyone else and put on a life preserver and swam down and back," Orr said.
Lawrence will be attending the university next year with the help of the fund-raiser.
Other students who will benefit from the money raised are Paul Heckler, a tennis player, who will be a senior majoring in finance; Becky McCafferty, a swimmer, who will study broadcast journalism; Jeff Keith, who ran across America and will be working towards an MBA; and Ian Jaquiss, a junior majoring in chemistry, who has been helped by "Swim with Mike" before and who won seven gold medals on the U.S. Wheelchair Olympic Team last year.

The campus radio station, KSCR, recently bolstered its administrative ranks by electing Charles Hall, a 23-year-old communications major from Alabama, as its new general manager.
Hall said one of his primary concerns will be to let people know that the radio station exists and to enable "everybody within a four-mile radius of the campus" to hear it.
"I think we have a big audience, but we're not able to reach that audience. So that will be the focus: reaching the audience we already have. And that will automatically expand at that point," he said.
Hall said the fact that KSCR is an AM station, and that most students prefer FM stereo, is not a disadvantage.
"Right now, AM is best for us, because we do have a dial position," he said. "You have to
work with what you've got. Hopefully, if you can master what you have, then it won't be hard to start stepping (up) or even mastering other, even greater things."
The new general manager said he expects to reach a time when technology at KSCR will allow for a much greater listening audience and possibly even an FM frequency. He said the management team he has compiled for the coming year will greatly lend to that objective.
Hall was bom in Tuskegee, Alabama and got involved with broadcasting quite by chance.
His brother, besides running a mobile disco company, had a radio show at WBIL in Tuskegee. One morning at about five, while his brother was sleeping after playing for a party, Hall signed on and impersonated his brother.
"He had to come on at six, of course. I got up because I knew (Continued on page 2)

Suspensions and educational sanctions have been levied against the fraternity and the sorority that violated the university's policy on vandalism and harrassment by participating in several anti-Semitic actions at the conclusion of Greek Week 1986.
Kappa Sigma fraternity received a two-year suspension, while Pi Beta Phi sorority was suspended for nine months. Both Kappa Sigma and Pi Beta Phi were placed on interim suspension by President Zumberge, on March 19, as they awaited the findings of the administrative review panel.
A statement released by the Office of Student Affairs read, "The suspensions grew from an incident in March in which members of the fraternity and sorority were charged with vandalizing the Sigma Alpha Mu fraternity house and engaging in anti-Semitic behavior after losing a week-long 'Greek Week' competition."
The incident involved members of Pi Beta Phi and Sigma Alpha Mu who went to the Sig-
ma Alpha Mu house and began chanting anti-Semitic remarks. Later that night, several Pi Beta Phi members painted the words "Jew Week" on the walk in front of the house, and at the Kappa Sigma house, a sign with the same words was displayed outside.
James Dennis, vice president of student affairs, said, "The findings of the administrative review panel represent a strong and decisive message from the university community that this sort of behavior will not be tolerated at USC."
He explained that "suspension" means the univeristy has withdrawn its recognition of the organizations.
"The (groups) cannot participate in any event recognized by the university," Dennis said.
The three-member administrative review panel, commenting on its findings, said there is a "need for the student groups to recognize the seriousness of their actions against fellow students."
The panel, consisting of a student, a faculty member and a staff member, also required that, before the two groups can
be reinstated, both must comply with educational sanctions.
These sanctions include the sponsorship of programs addressing issues of ethnic diversity at the university and the preparation of a long-range academic, social and pledge education program incorporating standards of appropriate behavior.
The two Greek organizations are also required to write formal letters of apology to various organizations, including a letter to the university that will be printed in the Daily Trojan.
The statement said the panel decided on the lengths of the suspensions by considering different factors.
In determining the length of the suspension for Pi Beta Phi, the review panel considered the sorority's excellent record of academic achievement and social involvement in the university community.
By the same token, Kappa Sigma's suspension reflected misconduct that has continued for the past several years.
Carla Eberhard, the president of Pi Beta Phi sorority, said, "We feel it's unfortunate that the incident has been so sensationalized, but we will deal with the sanctions in a positive, constructive way."
Neil Williams, a three-year member of Kappa Sigma, said he didn't think it was right that the entire 130-member fraternity should suffer for the actions of seven individuals.
Dennis said there have been questions asked as to why the houses are being held accountable for the actions of a few members. He explained that each fraternity and sorority enters into an agreement with the university before it can receive recognition.
This agreement states that the group must be collectively responsible for the individual actions of its members.
